Because more demons are escaping from the cursed texts the mortals failed to guard. The world is slipping back into darkness. And something is returning...A tale of deadly devotion.From the author of instant Sunday Times bestseller Tales of a Monstrous Heart, comes a spellbinding new gothic fantasy filled with slow-burn romance and forbidden magic - perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas and Rachel Gillig.Critic Reviews
TALES OF A MONSTROUS HEART is a sensual, gothic feast, full of forbidden romance and wild magic. Fey scholar Kat is a compelling heroine: intelligent, resourceful, and daring, with private wounds and deadly secrets. She meets her match in Emrys, the brooding lord of the manor and an expert in dark magic who hides secrets of his own. As Kat and Emrys struggle with rogue curses, magical blight, and the looming specter of war, they also battle their own suppressed desires. This slow-burn romance is set in a detailed and fascinating fantasy world, and Delaney spices her luscious prose with sharp commentary on class politics and the cyclical nature of violence. I loved this and can't wait for the next book! Sarah Hawley
With a cast of characters so fully realised I missed them long after the final page, Jennifer Delaney's debut is a richly atmospheric, darkly seductive masterclass in fantastical academia. The slow burn romance will leave you tingling Ella McLeod, author of The Map That Led to You
